We had Operations and Marketing classes today, and quite a few of our classmates parents had flown in to experience the case-method of classes first hand ... Many of them participated in the class discussion as well! ... All had been given the cases which were going to be discussed in class a week in advance ...



We had parents flying in not only from within the US, but from Mexico, Phillippines and India as well ... Before each class, our Section rep would get up and ask each parent to introduce themselves and then tell an interesting story about their student when they were little kids! ... This was a lot of fun !! ... This is a sample of the kind of stuff we got to hear ...

Adam, since the age of 18 months, had always wanted to be a garbage collector, because of the cool truck ... Alex had once starred in a Huggies diaper commercial (his new name is now officially "Huggies") ... Chris had once created a huge ball of cellophane and stuffed it under his arms to make his biceps look bigger ...
